Ext2 IFS 1.11a

Ext2 IFS (Ext2 Installable File System) provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes (read access and write access). This may be useful if you have installed both Windows and Linux as a dual boot environment on your computer. The ability to use Linux-partitions from Windows comes particularly useful when you need only a few files from the ext2-partition, and don't really feel like shutting down Windows and booting Linux.

The IFS does not install as a separate program, but actually extends the Windows operating system to include the Ext2 file system. Since it is executed on the same software layer at the operating system core (like all of the native file system drivers), all applications can access directly to Ext2 volumes. Ext2 volumes get drive letters (for instance O:). Files, and directories of an Ext2 volume appear in file dialogs of all applications. There is no need to copy files from or to Ext2 volumes in order to work with them.
